A Fine, bad, thing....

      I've encountered so much confusion regarding fine and applied art. A friend of mine suggested i re-read the college class Heidegger discourse "Origin of the Work of Art"  after we happened upon Van Gogh's  "Shoes" at the MET.

The myriad questions re-reading this treatise promulgated started my intellectual curiosity a-brewin'........

here are some of the art pieces I began to examine, both cognitively and affectively.  Can fine art be bad? Can applied art be good? What is art? Does it matter that a Koons 'Balloon Dog' fetches 20 million (give or take) at auction when there are homeless, hungry, and jobless people out there??

Wow... so much to do. Am leaving the college in which I teach and tying up the loose ends. Lots to do. Working on some projects, and staying under the radar for awhile. Got my MARY QUANTautobiography in the mail, so will post some Quant things in honor of this...

These illustrations are by Mary Quant. Genius of a woman; very inspiring.
